No you can't
This is a difficult question to answer. It depends on when you had your concussion, how it happened, how your physical and mental health are now, and what kind of surgery you are going to have. Please discuss these with your anesthesiologist before undergoing any surgery.

Yes, you can as long there is a clear understanding of the results of the concussion and your level of functioning, by the anesthesiologist.
Best to wait 3-6 months
